the first time i saw you,
after,
was today
you looked the same as always
a sweatshirt and khakis
big blue eyes and fire red hair
i was wearing the biggest sweatshirt i could find,
to cover up myself
i kept my glasses on and
people kept asking if i was okay
you acted the same as always
which might be what hurts the most
because nothing has changed for you,
but everything has changed for me.
i had to make a conscious effort to talk if you talked to me
and you teased me and joked like nothing was wrong
i tried so hard to pretend i was okay
but I'm afraid that maybe you say through it.
oh,
and i started crying ninth period about you too
